Open Deriv Account →Deriv is an international online broker (operating since 1999, formerly Binary.com) that accepts clients from Kenya. It offers CFDs on Deriv MT5 and cTrader plus options and multipliers on Deriv Trader and Deriv GO, with a $5 minimum deposit via e-wallets, leverage up to 1:1000 on major forex pairs and 24/7 synthetic indices. Deriv is not licensed by Kenya's capital-markets regulator; Kenyan residents are onboarded under the group's international entities, so local investor-protection rules do not apply. Trading with an offshore broker is not prohibited for individuals in Kenya. CFDs are complex, leveraged products and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
